Stay in Madrid (Part 3) - Novelist (Miguel de Cervantes) and Architectures

This is the statue of the famous novelist, Miguel de Cervantes.

Photographer: ME!

The 2 statues in front of him is the characters from his famous novel, the adventures of Don Quixote. Statuettes of Don Quixote (left) and Sancho Panza (right)

Heard that its a very good read but a very literature book. Not too sure if they have it in English though. You can search out the bookstores for it if you are interested.


Below are just some other architectures i came across on the road that i find that they look beautiful.

Stay in Barcelona (Part 5) Sagrada Familia Church by Antoni Gaudi

This is the final works of Antoni Gaudi and from the photos you will see that this church is still under construction. There are 2 sides to this church and will notice that the ending few photos, the style is very different from all the other part of the church. It is because the back of this church is done by another designer who is more of abstract artist, therefore the style differs a lot from Gaudi's work.

I took many close-up photos of the details. So take time to enjoy every little detail that are put into this building. It is art, it is a masterpiece. There is so much going on that but taking a glance, you would have missed out on so much more.

You can see that the lay out of the church is like the tabernacle of the old testament. Where there is a outer court, Holy place and Holy of Holies (where the sculpture of Jesus is hanging over) as shown in the photos above.

Below are the abstract design by other designer that i mentioned earlier.

How you enjoyed every detail as much as i did!

Stay in Barcelona (Part 4) Park Güell by Antoni Gaudi

This whole park is designed by the same designer, Antoni Gaudi.

Where he devoted around 45 years of his life, staying in this park to build and design this park

Photographer: ME!

If you noticed, there are some elements in Gaudi's design that is like his trademark.

The CROSS... His religion as a Catholic.

The outer pillars are always leaning inwards to increase stability of the structure, just like how we are in a standing position with our feet apart.

A very beautiful park~

So sad that it was raining... If not i would love to stay and sit around the park longer.

Just to absorb it's beauty and every detail of the art and the architectures!

A place worth visiting if you are considering where to go in Barcelona =)

Stay in Barcelona (Part 3) Architectures

Every building is a masterpiece. These are not museums, art house etc. These are just buildings along the road that i manage to capture as i go... Look at how beautiful they are~ the sculptures and detailings...

This is a church nearby my hotel. 

Went for a simple dinner on our own and came to the main entrance of this beautiful church.
